kricketsTrueBlood 1.03: I really liked it, save for some little things. I said to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
onelittlesleep that it's definitely one of those cases where the things I do like help me to unsee the things I don't like.
Things I'm not digging?
.Jason - It's not just that I find his behavior and personality loathsome, but I also find him totally uninteresting. Sigh. He can go away now.
.Lafayette, the walking stereotype - I don't mind that he's flamboyant. But not only is he flamboyant, he's into illegal drugs (and Vicodin apparently), plus he's a drug dealer, plus he's promiscuous, and not only that he's a prostitute and he runs a porn website. Have I forgotten anything else? I actually like his character, he seems like a nice person - but why does gay have to equate a social deviant of every possible distinction? And to top it off he sells vamp blood as well? Sigh.
.Bill, being totally weird in that first scene. I'm totally quoting what I said toonelittlesleep here: Maybe it was just.. bad characterization? They play him up to be Mr. Manners and then when he knows she's coming over to bring him information about the electrician he just lets those Creepy Creepsters answer the door and let her inside? Like, the Bill they set up in the first two eps would have totally answered the door and not even let her see those other vamps. He'd be all "let's take a walk and talk about how good you smell some more." So either he's hiding something, or he's... hiding something? I don't know why he'd go to feed on that guy in front of her either. That was just... weird. And creepy. And not good!
.Sookie's roaming hands - Okay is it just me or was it weird that she was getting all touchy feely with herself on his front porch in the middle of the day? I realize the location is a bit excluded, but still! Control yourself, woman!
Things I am digging?
.Bill, in general, but not in that first scene!
.Tara, I like this girl. I dunno what it is I like about her but I do. A hell of a lot.
.Sam, he's so cute!
.SAM, and sweet!
.Sam's dog/alter ego? - I'm really enjoying the guessing game we've got going on with him. I do think he's got a big secret of some kind. I just don't know what it is! First two eps I was convinced he was the dog! And then in this ep they showed him in the same shot as the dog so that blew the theory out of the water. But, maybe not. Maybe it's just all one big misdirection. I saw someone suggest that maybe he's a werewolf? Hmmm, intriguing. I don't care what he is, I like him! (And there's something about that dog either way!)
.Annnd... Sam!
Indifferent?
.New vamps, we'll see!
Also digging? The theme song!

Date: 2008-09-23 03:40 am (UTC)I would like to know if they explain it better in the book. He could have at least looked more... annoyed with them? Or apologetic towards her? Or you know, raised some objections when certain things happened? I dunno!
I need to get the book, obviously. LOL.
And wait? What does that comment about Sam mean? *reads into everything* Eek! (Don't tell me!)
